Tommy Rawhead

The legend of Tommy Rawhead aka Bloody Bones is particularly popular in
Ireland, in Britain and in some parts of the United States especially on the
southern region. The information in this
article is particularly about the Tommy Rawhead of the United States.

Tommy Rawhead has a lot of similarity to the Cutty Black Sow in terms of
their appearance. Tommy Raw Head is a
reanimated corpse of a hog on which his flesh has been stripped of their bones.

During the times that they are still alive, Tommy Rawhead is said to be
the favorite pet of a witch. Sometimes
the Bloody Bones also acted as the witch’s familiar. One day a pack of hunters managed to kill the
hog. They decapitated his head,
butchered him and carved off the meat from its bones. When the witch realized
what happened to his favorite pet, the witch devised a plan to get revenge to
the hunters. The witch allegedly used
her black magic and reanimated the corpse of the hog. His bones and decapitated head has been
reattached and the horrible monster was brought back to life. One by one the creature hunted the hunters
who killed him.

nabbed children who refused to go to sleep.

impossible. It also has the ability to
take the parts of other animals and add it to his body. In Irish and British lore, the Rawhead has
the ability to shape shift.
